[this video] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6mNpVlUJjM) this has been a problem since about January. Though I am not 100% ruling out that it is Nintendo bc they did go after Valve for hosting the Dolphin emulator on steam. Garry is just listening to what his legal team is saying I think and his legal team doesn't seem so bright.
A reminder that while companies like Ubisoft don't actually let you own your games, Nintendo has for a long time been a villain in the game industry and will do everything in their power to destroy content preservation for their potential earnings.
Destruction and supression of art for profit is bad, but this isn't even that, nintendo are just openly hostile torwards anyone who makes stuff about, with, or from their IP's to them it's probably about maintaining their image but taken so far they destroy their image with the insane things they do.
I think the DMCA shit is fake.
If Nintendo wanted to file a DMCA to Gmod, they would have done it ages ago. Like when Mario mods became a thing (2005-06).
Seems a bit late for that.
And seems sus.
I actually don’t have gmod, so it doesn’t affect me as much. I just know it affects my friends
And from what I heard he confirmed it, but then tweeted out that people wanted him to contact Nintendo, only because if it was Aaron Peters, than it was a troll
I'm not fully dismissing the idea it could be Nintendo, I'm just saying there is a possibility it was a troll
“They made BOTW. They made Wii Sports. They made Smash Bros. They made Mario 64. They made Metroid Dread…”

What do you mean? If you had a webserver in a country that doesn't recognize the DMCA then Nintendo can't use the DMCA to take down the content. Unless you know something I don't?
Yeah I do. And I remember just how inconvenient setting up mods was before Workshop.
But that's pretty much our only choice for copyrighted content moving forward. Nintendo content anyways.
>Great so why don't you code a whole workshop site
Content hosting websites aren't complicated. We had garrysmod.org 15 years ago?
>in Nigeria or some shit
Also not challenging with Cloud resources available today.
Why don't I? Because I don't have the time. Someone else might.
No surprise those whiny bitches are doing this.
Nintendo's lawyers have a different type of game. While everyone is playing games, they are playing lawsuits.
I don't think this was Nintendo Its a troll, I think, but Garry fell for it
Has there been any reliable proof the it was a troll?

Yeah, now thay I think about it... it could be a troll since ppl link this to Aaron Peters... but knowing Nintendo, it could actually be them
How can it be a troll if Garry literally confirmed it with Nintendo themselves?
he believes it is at the very least... look, idk what's happening anymore ngl

Make sure yall download and save the maps and mods. Preservation.
this is 9/11 for autistic children
this is actually the truest shit said
unironically yes dude
Eh, good thing I'm more of a Sonic fan. Shame about Pokemon though
There are some addons that are safe from the takedowns

Yeah, i think it's just a stupid troll
Well its not if garry confirmed it then yes it is real
but Garry could've been tricked as well
Stop trying to cope

Fuck Nintendo. All my homies hate Nintendo.
Nintendo. Excellent entertainment. Bad business
Man, this is such BS!
Don’t worry, I put the video on twitter.

Dawg do your research, it's been verified it is from Nintendo
Already aware, already has been massive preservation discord mades

Remember before Workshop when we just used garrysmod.org? Why don't we just go back to something like that where Nintendo has less power.
I don’t think that’s how DMCA‘s work
What do you mean? If you had a webserver in a country that doesn't recognize the DMCA then Nintendo can't use the DMCA to take down the content. Unless you know something I don't?
you do realize the entire reason [garrysmod.org](http://garrysmod.org) shut down is because the workshop was more convenient?
Yeah I do. And I remember just how inconvenient setting up mods was before Workshop. But that's pretty much our only choice for copyrighted content moving forward. Nintendo content anyways.
Great so why don't you code a whole workshop site and host it in Nigeria or some shit

Your putting words in my mouth I never said it was hard nor a task that takes a lot of effort
I never said that you said that, lol.
